My nanny while growing up was the best cook and her salmon patty recipe was one of my favorite dishes. Over the years, I have made the patties numerous times. I've tried my best to recreate this recipe from memory, and I think it is pretty identical to the original Nanny Patty.
Nanny Patties
14.75 oz can of wild alaska pink salmon (you can leave the bones and everything else because they are not hard and you won't even notice them once mixed up with the crumbs)
1/4 cup italian seasoned bread crumbs
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/4 of a medium onion, finely chopped
1 egg
black pepper to taste
Heat a saute pan on medium heat with 3 tablespoons olive oil. Drain the salmon but leave some liquid. Add the salmon to a medium sized bowl and brake up with a fork. Add the bread crumbs, garlic, onion egg and pepper. Mix with the fork until the crumbs are well combined. Separate the fish mixture into 5 equal portions. Using your palms and fingers, shape each portion of fish into flat patties. Place each patty carefully in p
an. Cook for about 4 minutes on the first side, then flip over with a spatula and cook them for another 4 minutes on the other side. The patties should have a brown crust on both sides.
I made basmati rice in my rice cooker, which is what my nanny always served these salmon patties with. She also taught me to break apart the patty and mix it in with the rice and create a sort of rice-salmon dish. That is how I have been eating these delicious patties for years!

Yeah for salmon patties, and yeah for Ophelia! I had these all the time growing up, and tried a few years ago to make them for Bill. I thought they were delicious, but Bill hated the smell and couldn't stand them after watching me make them from the can, pulling out those small neck bones! They've been banned from our kitchen ever since! I'll just have to relive those memories through your photos, or when he goes out of town!
